Which tags do you exclude by default?

Do you exclude any tags by default?

Everyone has their dislikes and things they don't even want to see. And thankfully, VNDB allows us to filter out things we don't want to see by default. So I've got a little bit curious about how many people use this feature and which tags do they exclude by default to make VNDB a better experience for themselves.

I have none, because I don't trust people to *always* tag correctly. For example, I would've blacklisted "Otome" but then there's those games that people tagged as Otome just because there's a female protagonist.

I used to filter games out by original japanese language only, but it annoyed me whenever I wanted to look up an OEL game.

I think a good portion of the people who exclude those tags would not really want to avoid those VNs. But alas, we can't really exclude VNs with a tag score treshold.Last modified on 2019-07-13 at 17:50

At the risk of looking like a complete moron: how do you exclude a tag "by default"? What does that even mean? Is this just a fancy way of saying that you use the "Tags to exclude" field when using the search engine or is there a way to have that automatically filed out somehow? I went through the FAQ and found nothing on this feature if it is indeed one...

Basically stuff where I can be absolutely sure that I'd not be interested. As such the tags basically don't allow other content to be there, that's interesting for me, no matter its strength. (i.e. just because the game has one yaoi scene doesn't mean I definitely don't want to know about it)

Mistagging might be a thing, but I've not yet really seen this issue happen much with otome games, so I'm keeping it. But the risk is definitely always there. All it needs is one troll.

I tend to do more include instead of exclude which seems to filter out most, but once in awhile if have itch I try to find more perfect vn I used exclude. Which I don't think I ever found something good being too picky with tags.

The only tag looking through everyone's list I don't include even though I hate it is kinetic novel, which personal ruins the whole point. Single ending and unavoidable harem ending are others I hate as well.Last modified on 2019-07-13 at 22:31
